课时规范练14(必修3　Unit 4)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·浙江杭州期中检测)Cycle for Science—the brainchild of Rachel Woods-Robinson and Elizabeth Case—is a 4,000 mile bike ride from San Francisco to New York.Along the way,Rachel and Elizabeth will make stops at classrooms and summer programs to teach science,talk with teachers and encourage girls to continue studying science,technology,engineering and math (STEM).Rachel and Elizabeth met at UCLA where they both studied physics.In addition to being enthusiastic about science and sustainability(可持续性),they also share a common interest in cycling.Cycle for Science combines these two interests.What’s cool is that the science “lessons” are not boring textbook courses but fun hands-on learning,centered around a small solar-powered bicycle that they are currently designing.Called Sol Cycle,the tiny two-wheeler has been produced using a 3D printer.In addition to sharing their concept with students,they plan to release the design files online,so that anyone with access to a 3D printer can “produce” their copy.Though neither are educators,the young women are no strangers to teaching others about scientific concepts and sustainability.While in college,Rachel organized Ecochella,a “green” concert with a sound system that was powered entirely by a bicycle-powered generator that she designed.Her initiative(积极性) has inspired an annual engineering competition where student teams compete against each other to create unique sustainable generators to power Ecochella every year.Their curiosity about physics led them to attend a one-unit seminar on “The Arrow of Time” as freshmen.The best part is the physics majors are so interested in science that they both plan to pursue further education in the field.1.How did Rachel and Elizabeth teach kids about science?A.By requiring kids to design a bike.B.By making use of science textbooks.C.By using a bicycle powered by sunshine.D.By asking kids to remember science concepts.2.What do we know about Sol Cycle?A.It can be produced
